Part 5

........

Nupur was still shuffling around in her chair trying to make as much noise as possible when she froze at seeing the face of the person responsible for her kidnapping.

He had an evil smile on his face as he stared at the princess.

K- Bechari raj kumari... kahan fas gayi, apne mahal se doooor. Jahan tumhari toh koi lash bhi nahin dundh sake ga.

He laughed like a crazy person and Nupur gave him the most hateful look she could. He stopped smiling.

K- Lagta hain ke raj mahal mein rahe kar bohat abhiman agaya hai tumko. Ab dekhna ke main tumhari kya halat banata hoon.

He takes out his sword and goes near Nupur. She closes her eyes tight. The sword was almost going to cut her when it stops midway. Nupur opens her eyes and stares at the hand stopping the sword and looks right into Mayank's eyes. He had saved her!

With one move Mayank snatched the sword out of the kidnapper's hand and threw it away.

M- Tumhari himmat kaise hui Raj Kumari Nupur ko choone ki bhi? Iski saaza toh tumhe zaroor milagi.

K- Saaza? Tum do ge saaza Zimba ko!?

M- Haan main.

He hands over the sword to Zimba and takes his own out and challenges him to a fight.

Nupur watched silently as both of them fought. It was a very tough fight with Zimba being the very sneaky one but Mayank was still the best of course. Nupur's heart skipped a beat everytime Zimba's sword would get close to Mayank, but she soon breathed a sigh of releif as Mayank soon defeated the enemy. Zimba cowered on the floor, wounded, but managed to get up as quickly as he could and ran away.

M- Ruko!

But it was too late and Zimba and his follower escaped on Mayank's horse. Mayank sighed angrily and looked at Nupur. He bent down and started to untie her. Nupur was staring at Mayank the whole time as he untied her and then removed the cloth around her mouth. Nupur couldn't help it and she flung her arms around his neck. Mayank was shocked at first, but then smiled and hugged her back. They quickly broke apart.

N- Mayank, aaj tumne meri jaan bachay main tumhara kaise shukriya karoon? Aaj tak main sirf tumse larti a rahi hoon. Kitna bura laga hoga tumko lekin tumne phir bhi meri jaan bachaya. Sach, main tumhare yeh ehsaan main kabhie bhool nahin paongi--

M- Ehsaan kaisa? Maine woh hi kia jo mujhe teek laga. Ab tum yahi par bathke baatein kari jaogi yah hum chalein?

N- Toh chalo na! Maine kab roka. Chalo.

Nupur starts walking ahead. Mayank shakes his head and starts to follow her outside the cave.

They both stand and stare at their surroundings for a while. In truth both of them did not remember which way the palace was but they made a guess in their head.

N pointing to the right- Mujhe lagta hain ke humme iss taraf jaana chahiye.

M- Nahin Nupur. Yeh raasta galat dikh raha hain. Hum uss taraf jaayenge.

He pointed at the opposite way.

N- Mayank tumhe mere upar yakeen nahin hain? (in a whiny voice) Woh hi sahi raasta hain!

Mayank stared at where Nupur pointed to for a while. Everything was so confusing, so he finally gave up.

M- Hamesha ki tarah tum apni zid puri karke hato gi!

He starts walking the way that Nupur thought was right.

N- Matlab tumne meri baat maan li. Ruko!

She quickly catches up to him.

M- Agar yeh sahi raasta bhi hain toh bhi humme bohat waqt lage ga mahal pohanchne ke liye. Isliye jaldi turoo!

N- Ab aur jaldi kaise turoon?! Pehla se hi main bohat takhi hui hoon aur upar se itni zor se bhook lagi hain! Aur tum kehre ho Nupur jaldi turoon!

M- Toh teek hain na! Yahan par beht jao. Shayad koi janver aake tumhare saath apna khana baat le ga. Ya toh phir tumhe hi kha lega.

N- Janver?

She starts to walk more quickly.

It was getting very dark and Nupur walked as closely as she could near Mayank. She was beginning to get the creeps.

M- Raj Mahal toh kahin nazaar bhi nahin a raha. Lagta hain ke yahin raat guzarni paregi.

N- KYA? Puri raat aur woh bhi iss jungle mein!

M- Haan Nupur. Aur kitna chalenge hum. Tum bhi bohat taakhi hui lag rahi ho.

N- Lekin-

M- Tum chinta kyun kar rahi ho? Main hoon na.

Mayank gives Nupur one of his dazzling smiles.

N- Teek hain teek hain. Hum yahan par hi rukte hain.

Hey!
